Sibelius Version: 8.5

Post by savus » Wed Feb 01, 2017 2:29 pm

Hi everyone. I'm experiencing an oddity with Sibelius 8 (got 8.2 on Win and 8.5 on Mac) and apparently there seems to be no solution.
So, this is it: all of a sudden, most of the lines lost their handles. I went on the lines list and this is what I found: [Attachment n.1]
The [Attachment n.2] is how the lines look like into the main screen, while the [n.3] is about how the Edit Lines window looks like.
I almost forgot: this issue is file-related. The other files behave normally, but when I copied a line into one of them (straight one, normal, non-dashed) the issue showed up there as well, along with all its symptoms. One more consideration, is that I often use the "Line between notes" plugin, which may have a role into this.
Can someone shed some light on this burdensome situation? :)

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: One more consideration. I have exported the House Style from an older version of the file and imported it in the current one: it solved the problem. Nonetheless, I still don't know what it is, so my question is still valid.

Something that I've noticed. Though I don't have Sib 8, when I add accel, the handle is not at the end, but rather in the middle of the word. If I don't move the handle when I add the word, the handle is gone if I go back to it later. Could this be happening to you at all?
